Relief for Siddaramaiah as High Court Rejects CBI Probe Plea in MUDA Scam
Siddaramaiah as High Court

In a significant legal development, the Karnataka High Court has rejected a plea seeking a CBI investigation into the alleged MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) scam, providing relief to former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

The petition, which called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, alleged irregularities in land allocations and financial mismanagement within MUDA during Siddaramaiah’s tenure. However, after reviewing the case, the High Court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to warrant a CBI inquiry, dismissing the plea.

The decision comes as a major reprieve for Siddaramaiah, who had denied any wrongdoing and called the allegations politically motivated. The ruling is expected to have political ramifications, as opposition parties had been using the issue to attack the Congress leader.

While the case remains under scrutiny by state authorities, the High Court’s decision marks a temporary relief for Siddaramaiah, allowing him to focus on his political engagements without the looming threat of a central investigation.

Background of the MUDA Scam Allegations

The alleged MUDA scam revolves around irregular land allotments and financial discrepancies in the allocation of residential and commercial plots in Mysuru. The petitioners had claimed that several land parcels were allotted to influential individuals and politicians in violation of regulations, causing a significant loss to the state exchequer. They demanded a CBI probe, arguing that a state-level investigation would not be impartial.
